Restoration of Public Building Funding
Modernization of Six Schools in Astana Begins
A significant step towards educational modernization has been taken in Astana, Kazakhstan, as the renovation of six schools built before 2000 commences. The schools, numbered 1, 14, 21, 35, 61, and 69, will undergo extensive modernization to create a safe, modern, and functional learning environment.
The renovation project, part of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's directive to modernize 1300 schools nationwide by 2027, will see the schools' libraries, auditoriums, sports halls, and dining rooms transformed. The educational process in these renovated schools will be fully modernized to meet current standards, with classrooms equipped with digital equipment and new furniture.
The renovation will also involve restoring engineering networks and building structures, installing new fire alarm and low-current systems, and replacing the electricity and lighting systems. Modern security systems will be installed to ensure the safety of students and staff. The repair work will adhere to the "Comfortable School" project standards.
The repair of heating, ventilation, water supply, and sewage systems forms part of the renovation plan. This year's capital repairs are not the only focus, as the approved plan for 2025-2027 includes capital repairs in 22 schools in Astana. However, no specific schools for further renovation in the years 2025-2027 were mentioned in the latest updates.
While detailed progress reports or milestones on the nationwide modernization of 1300 schools in Kazakhstan are not readily available, it is clear that the government is actively engaged in advancing educational infrastructure modernization. Ongoing investments in digital innovation centers and junior school facilities suggest a broader push towards educational modernization.
For those seeking the most up-to-date or detailed progress on these exact schools or the full modernization target, it may be necessary to consult Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Education or related official government communications directly.
